July 15, 2009 Whistle Pig?

So, a lot of you have known us as Whimzy Acres for many years. So what is the Whistle Pig? Well, we seem to have a family of Wood Chucks. They are the cutest things. John was just enthrawled with them. He was reading up on them on the internet and they are known as Groundhogs, and Whistle Pigs.

Well my new addition to my products are my primitive things. And I was looking for a name for that portion of Whimzy Acres. What could be better than Whistle Pig? So, there you have it, Whistle Pig Primitives at Whimzy Acres! Ok..now I promise I will have some great things up here for sale in the next week....(maybe two....I gotta keep those grass seeds watered and it takes forever!). So please keep checking back and Thanks for being here! ~Shelley

GRASS!

Well, last night we planted grass! One more thing in getting back to normal! All around the new garage and the new sidewalk to the house. Wow...I won't know what to do when I don't have MUD and DIRT everywhere! Pretty soon they will be bringing in the rock to finish off the end of the driveway...yep I have a driveway! Haven't had one of those for 22 years!

Hi and welcome! My name is Shelley, I live in Nebraska with my husband John. We have three children who are all grown up and married.
I have been crafting in one form or another all my life. I have been a soap and candle maker for 7 years. I also love sewing and creating prim things. They just bring back the feeling of a simpler time.
I have always been a collector of things new and old and love to repurpose!
Please come in and look around, we hope you will enjoy your stay here.
Whimzy Acres is our home, also home to Whistle-Pig Primitives and The Junk Chick.
We are Lucky to live right smack dab in the middle of the best farm ground on God’s green earth!

What time is it?

I made one of these for Junk Stock this year. It turned out so cute...it was really easy and fun! It was also the first thing to sell! I didn't get a picture of the other one...sooo..since I had another chandelier and some of the same dishes...well I just HAD to make another one! I hope the birds love it as much as I do!

Just finished this flag today, it is made from a pallet. My husband put it up on the fence post at the end of our lane. Well, since the lane is 750 feet long, I can't see it from the house..but I know it is there. Happy Birthday America ~ The Greatest Country on Earth!

Thanks to all of you that serve/served who keep her free and safe! God Bless the USA :)

Wow! Last weekend was Junkstock Omaha!! My first time with a booth there, it was amazing. I made up a bunch of these little jars~and it was really fun doing them. They sold really well and in Honor of the 4th of July ~ Here is a pic:)

Well...I am running out of soap, so I need to make more! I have been a soap and candle maker for about 10 or so years:) I quit doing that a few years ago..in 2008 to be exact. But this week I have been thinking..I really do need to make some soap. I was looking thru some pictures and I found his one...Bath Bombs!! They were so much fun to make and the picture made me smile, so I thought I would share it!
